SPECIFICATION forming part of Ivetters Patent No, 594,920, datedDecember 7, 1897.

Application filed April 28, 1897. Serial No. 634,266. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, AUGUST THIEKE, a subject of the German Emperor,residing at Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, haveinvented a new and Improved Wood-Plug Holder, of which the followingis afull, clear, and exact specification.

The object of this invention is a device intended to take the place ofthe wooden dowels now generally in use for securingwooden parts-such aspanels, moldings, &c.-to masonry, so as to obviate in a simple andecon'omical manner the numerous inconveniences attached to the use ofthese dowels.

The essential feature of the new plug-holder is that wooden plugs areheld in masonry by a white-iron plate, secured in turn to the Wall withnails or the like.

The accompanying drawings show the new wood-plug holder in threedistinct forms.

Figure l represents a Wood-plug holder for ordinary masonry for securingmoldings and the like. Fig. 2 represents a wood-plug holder for plasterWalls with wire-netting. Fig. 3 is a modification.

The plug a is forced with its reduced end through a hole in thewhite-iron plate b, and the plate itself is fastened to the masonry'with the two nails c, which are provided with a V- shaped cross-cut.

In Fig. 2 the white-iron plate b catches with turned-back Wings d behindthe Wire d' and is so incased in the' plate. This figure further showsanother larrangement suitable for securely fastening the plug to thewhite-iron plate and very efficient in all the various forms ofexecution. It consists `in the plug having projecting rims e overlappingthe hole in the plate on one or on both sides. This arrangement can beeffected by either pressing .the wood or by heating the white iron andforcing it 4over the plug while hot.

Fig. 3 represents a holder having two plugs secured by means of a plateb and a nail with S-shaped head c in the middle. This form is especiallyadapted for fastening the boards fortelegraphic push-buttons and thelike.

I claiml. A Wood-plug holder, comprising a whiteiron plate secured tothe wall, and the plug held thereby to the wall, said plug fitting in ahole in the white-iron plate with a projecting rimon one or both sides,substantially as described.

2. A wood-plug holder, comprising the plate b, means vfor holding it tothe wall, an opening through said plate for the insertion of the plugand means for holding the plug to the plate substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses. I

' AUGUST THIEKE.
